Title Lake-goers on the corner of Westlake Park, ca.1924

Description Photograph of lake-goers on the corner of Westlake Park, ca.1924. Two adults are visible on a bench to the left of the center foreground, a child between them. To the left, more enthusiasts dally on the benches or stand on the paved walkway outlining the edge of the lake. In the far right background, a flock of ducks can be seen congregating by an extension of the shore. In the left background, other park-goers can be seen sitting on benches behind a short stone wall. In the distance, some of the city's buildings are visible behind the tree tops.
